The Fast and the Furious

Dir. Rob Cohen. 2001, 106 mins. U.S. DCP. With Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Rick Yune. The first in the immensely popular car-racing action franchise stars Vin Diesel as a notorious illegal street racer and Paul Walker as the undercover LAPD officer who infiltrates his crew to track down a gang of thieves and bring them to justice following an elaborate California freeway heist. Stunt coordinator Mic Rodgers, whose long career as a stunt performer and double in the industry, from the TV shows Wonder Woman and The Incredible Hulk to the films Lethal Weapon and Braveheart, brings a stunning visceral quality to the film’s indelible car chase sequences, kicking off one of the most enduring action series in contemporary Hollywood. For co-designing the “Mic Rig,” to capture maximum authenticity in the film’s many car chases, Rodgers won a special 2002 Academy Award for technical achievement.
